POLL: Who/What is Biggest Reason for Loss to Cowboys?

[Topcat]

• Soft up the middle on defense. Not sure you scheme your way around that.
• No real speed at WR, and defenses are going to force Herbert underneath.
• Need more focus on a power running game to open up play action
  • The play-action they did looked bad(reminded me of early Brees)

Guyton has speed. One problem is, Norton was allowing hurries just about every down, so Herbie didn't have enough time to throw the long ball...

[Topcat]

A) Referees being ultra creative
B) Our defensive line playing soft
C) Lombardi waiting until second half to get Storm Norton Help against Micah

^ This. Lamebardi should have game planned to give Norton help from the get-go...

It should have taken about 5 plays to figure it out. NOt sure if Staley, Lombardio, the OLine coach , Chase Daniels - but come on, help him out

Remember when this offense had the deep ball going? Wasn't too long ago.

You want the AL offense, and players, back?

The offense I want back is the offense that averaged 27 pts per over the final four games of the 2020 season. You can call it whatever you like. But it was better than the offense that is averaging 18.5 pts per game so far in 2021. We have two games coming up with division rivals who are averaging 34 and 29.5 pts per game respectively. What's your solution?

So the offense that got 11/12 games to get in rhythm?
Give it time. We are moving the ball at will. We’ve average over 400 YPG in our first 2 of 2021. Penalties and Redzone errors have stopped us from scoring 30+ in each game.

Penalties and red zone errors that didn't plague the offense in the latter games last season?

World-breaker for sure.

I was joking Ninja Warrior and I am not in panic mode today. Not at all. In fact I expected early struggles and I also expect a strong late season push by this team.

Got it.
We should have worked through the bugs in both new systems and be in sync by early mid season.
